Homework: Multiple Choice Questions 1. Why are oil and gas relatively rare (and therefore sometimes expensive)? 1) Oil and gas ONLY FORMED EARLY in Earth’s history (about 4 billion years ago, possibly before life even evolved on Earth) 2) Oil and gas must be released from one rock layer and trapped in another in order for them to accumulate. Places that have BOTH THE SOURCE AND TRAP ARE RARE. 3) TRICK QUESTION! Oil and gas are trapped in layers beneath our feet EVERYWHERE on the planet. 4) Oil and gas only form NEAR PLATE BOUNDARIES. Most of the surface area of the planet is located far from plate boundaries. 2. 1) Yes! Apple is responsible! 2) No. Groundwater flow the opposite direction, so Google is the culprit? 3) No. Groundwater leaving Apple will flow further to the east (right) of Google. 4) No. Groundwater leaving Apple flow further to the east (left) of Google. 3. 1) Some of the specific arrows shouldn’t exist at all 2) Some of the arrows should point one way 3) Energy and matter can flow across the system boundary 4) There should only be energy flow arrows, not matter ones. 5) The boundary should be around the solid Earth and exclude the atmosphere 6) There should only be matter arrows, not energy ones 4. 1) Perforate in the tilted sandstone layer 2) Perforate in the shallow, flat sandstone later 3) Drill deeper into the schist and pump there 4) This well should never have been drilled. There are no good oil traps. 5. The student drew the model below that has one major problem with it. What is the problem? 1) Energy should not leave the system 2) The model is missing wind and ocean currents 3) The amount of energy coming should be much greater than the amount of energy going out. 4) The model is missing greenhouse gases 6. 1) D – near the bottom 2) A – near the headwaters 3) B – near the inflection point 4) C – half away down the mountains 7. 1) A 2) BOTH A & B are likely to form. 3) B 4) NEITHER one is likely to form. 8. The picture below is a map of plate motion. Each arrow indicates the direction and speed of a location on Earth’s surface indicated by the ‘x.’ Bigger arrows indicate faster motion At which location would you expect the most earthquake? 1) H 2) A 3) C 4) D 5) G 6) F 7) B 8) E 9. At which one(s) would you expect SHALLOW EARTHQUAKES? Shallow is the top 20 miles, which is pretty deep if you have to dig a hole, but shallow compared to the deepest earthquakes? (SELECT ALL THAT ARE CORRECT) 1) A 2) B 3) C 10. Which direction does groundwater flow in this picture? 1) From east TO WEST 2) AWAY from the stream in both direction 3) From west TO EAST 4) From both east and west TOWARDS the stream
